Jamaica-based sisters Michelle and Suzanne Rousseau, stars of the television seriesTwo Sisters and a Meal, have long made it their mission to share healthy Caribbean flavors with the rest of the world. In their new cookbook Provisions: The Roots of Caribbean Cooking–150 Vegetarian Recipes, the Rousseau sisters delve into the history of Caribbean cuisine through personal stories highlighting secret ingredients and recipes passed down by the women in their family. Their passion for local vegetables, fresh tropical fruits, and roots add life and an exotic touch to the flavorful dishes.

Their vibrant chickpea dish features warming and metabolism-boosting chili peppers and fresh ginger and turmeric for anti-inflammatory and immune-building properties. "The dish features so many beloved spices and ingredients that are also common to the Caribbean islands—grated coconut, green mango, fresh cilantro—that we had to create our own version," they write. They first tried this dish in India, where it is considered a "beachside snack" in some areas. It's the perfect way to warm and brighten up a cold winter day while benefiting your immune system—and your palate.
